"Intelligence analysts inaccurately referred to the presence of a protest at the U.S. mission facility before the attack based on open source information and limited intelligence, but without sufficient intelligence or eyewitness statements to corroborate that assertion," the report said, adding that the U.S. intelligence community then took too long to correct their error, "which caused confusion and influenced the public statements of policymakers."
Also, U.S. Ambassador Stevens, ignoring the growing security threats, rejected additional military support just two weeks prior to the attack.
"The report faults the military for being unable to help when needed. "No U.S. military resources in position to intervene
in short order in Benghazi to help defend" the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, it said."
